What to do if adopted child receives property via settlement?
I was legally adopted by my aunt at age 4. Later, my birth mother gave me property via a settlement deed, not a sale deed. I’m worried about its legal validity due to different initials on the deed. What can I do?

If adoption was legal and registered, you are no longer legal heir of birth mother. But if settlement deed was voluntary, you can keep it. Initial mismatch may cause issues, so consider rectification deed. You cannot "convert" it into a sale deed now. Get it validated through a civil lawyer.
